Romancing the Holidays at Kensington Promo Tour (+Giveaway)

In Kismet, Michigan, Christmas is special: big fluffy snowflakes, sleigh bells, carolers singing. It’s a picture-perfect holiday—you just have to choose who’s in the frame…

Jason Hamilton is on thin ice with the board of his toy company. The young CEO may be a kid at heart, but his party boy reputation requires damage control. So Jason’s off to Kismet to inspect a model store, stay on Santa’s Nice list, and stick to business—no goofing around. Which is too bad, because the store manager, Danielle Sharpe, is the definition of what makes Naughty fun…

Danielle is thrilled to show off her thriving little toy store—especially if it’s her ticket out of Kismet. The single mom is tired of manufacturing cheer solo while her ex-husband has all the fun. But if she’d known Jason was this hot, she wouldn’t have offered to host him. With Jason in her house, Danielle is getting warmer than spiked cider. She’s supposed to impress him with her expertise, not daydream about catching him under the mistletoe. Now whatever she does, she can’t get swept up in the magic…

British accent, Fred claims he’s a Messenger, sent from “Headquarters” to help
her discover the joy of Christmas. But is Fred an angel from above—or just
stone cold crazy?

Fred’s used
to dealing with skeptics. Telling a stranger you’ve been ordered to inspire
holiday cheer is a tough sell. But there’s a further complication. Fred’s
mission is to help Lindsay right the wrongs from her past that have been
holding her back. But somehow along the way, they’ve become wildly attracted to
each other—and falling in love is not
part of the plan. Fred only has ‘til the stroke of midnight on Christmas Eve to
guide Lindsay to the magical future she deserves—even if it’s a future without
him…

their town, but Annie does her best—until the tall, dark, and rugged surveyor
on their neighbor’s land becomes a potent distraction…

Wyoming

Annie that’s as wild and sweet as the mountain wind. He doesn’t want to tame
her. Just love her. Annie Bennett is all he wants for Christmas. And for

arms and explains without saying a single word…

matchmaking challenge. What better way to celebrate the most heartwarming of
seasons—and make Huckleberry Hill, Wisconsin, the place for unexpected love…

marriage has left the Helmuths’ widowed great-granddaughter, Beth, finished
with wedlock. She’s content to live with them and make a life for herself and
her toddler son. But once she turns down handsome Tyler Yoder’s proposal, it
seems only fair to encourage him to find a suitable wife. Trouble is, his
gentleness and generous ways are showing her how joyous a real meeting of
hearts can be. . .

After a
failed courtship, Tyler thought the best he could hope for in a wife was mere
companionship. But spirited Beth is the one he longs to protect, and hold
close. Earning her trust is the hardest thing he’s ever had to do. And soon,
both will discover that forgiveness and understanding are gifts that only
rekindled faith—along with the happiest of holidays—can bring.
